Why use Azo Free Dyes?
Azo dyes are usually used as vivid colouring agents, especially oranges, reds and yellows. Due to the potential release of aromatic amines, such dyes and pigments are mutagenic, carcinogenic and sometimes allergic. Azo dyes are not biodegradable and are difficult to remove from our ecosystem. Miminko Apparel’s House Lines cotton is dyed with azo free dyes while still offering beautiful, bright colors.
